Guide to the Festival

PASSES

A generous allotment of seats at every screening are reserved for passholders. While a pass (with the exception of Platinum) does not guarantee seating, passholders are allowed priority entry up to 20 minutes before showtime or until the passholder seat allotment has been reached.

Simplify, and get more from your Frameline31 experience with a Gold Card or Castro Pass. With these passes you won't have to wait in box office lines or keep track of individual tickets. Daytime moviegoers will want to nab a Weekday Matinee Pass!

Platinum Cards

Platinum Cards are presented in appreciation of Frameline members at the Visionary Director ($5,000) level. Platinum Cards provide priority admission to all Frameline31 screenings and reserved seating for all screenings at the Castro Theatre, including Opening and Closing Nights.

Gold Cards

Gold Cards are presented in appreciation of Frameline members at the Benefactor ($600) and Visionary ($1,200-$2,500) levels. Gold Cards provide priority admission to all Frameline31 screenings! Tickets to Opening and Closing Night Films and Galas are issued separatley.

Castro Passes

Castro Passes, good for admission to all Castro Theatre screenings, excluding Opening Night and Closing Night, are available for $200 to members-only until June 1. Order form in the Shop (available to the general public, starting June 1).

Weekday Matinee Passes

Weekday Matinee Passes, good for admission to all weekday daytime screenings at the Castro Theatre, starting no later than 5pm, are available for $35. With more than 12 programs to see, you'll save plenty purchasing a pass instead of individual tickets! Order form in the Shop.

NOTE TO ALL PASS HOLDERS:
Arrive early! Seating is guaranteed only up to twenty minutes
before the published showtime, or until pass holder allotment has been
reached. Twenty minutes after the program has commenced, no one will be admitted into the theatre.
